SimplyBook.me is an online booking and scheduling system for service-based industries, covering booking websites, booking tools, management apps, client records, payments, notifications, and marketing extensions. The materials indicate that it helps businesses accept customer bookings 24/7 and supports use cases such as education and government administration.
The product is built around βservices, staff, time, and clients.β You can configure service duration, pricing, buffer time, special leave, and business hours; assign specific services to specific staff members; and support recurring appointments, events/classes, membership subscriptions, and QR-code check-ins. Customers can book through a booking website, Facebook, Instagram, LINE Official Account, Google Business Profile, and other entry points. On the management side, it offers iOS/Android apps, filterable calendars, cancellation/rescheduling, booking notes, and customer booking history. Notifications include confirmation emails, reminder emails, cancellation reminders, feedback notifications, and browser notifications. Integrations include Google Meet, Microsoft 365/Teams, WordPress widgets, iFrame, Zapier, as well as payment capabilities such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The pricing tiers are straightforward: the free plan includes 50 bookings per month; the Basic plan is $11.9/month when billed annually; Standard is $24.9/month; Premium is $49.9/month, with annual billing saving 17%. The main differences are booking volume, the number of custom features, and the number of service providers. The Enterprise plan offers custom booking volumes, multi-location access, an account manager, a queue manager, a high-load API, white labeling, and a choice of data location. Developer support is relatively strong: the documentation shows a JSON-RPC 2.0 API with methods for authorization, retrieving services/staff, working calendars, available time slots, additional fields, making bookings, confirmations, and cancellations, along with JavaScript/PHP examples.
The materials mention ISO 27001 certification and EU hosting, while the Enterprise plan can choose data locations such as the UK, the US, and Australia. For team collaboration, it supports multiple system users, role assignment, multi-staff management, and multi-location management. It is a good fit for beauty and fitness businesses, education and training, consulting, government service counters, multi-location services, and online meeting bookings.
Its strengths include a free starting plan, many booking entry points, integrated booking/payment/notification/customer management, and detailed API capabilities. Limitations include the relatively small capacity of the free plan, advanced capabilities being restricted by plan tier and number of custom features, and white labeling/high-load API access requiring the Enterprise plan. Access from mainland China is not specified in the materials, and local availability of payment options such as Apple Pay/Google Pay needs to be tested. Domestic alternatives may include Youzan, Weimob booking tools, or apps within the WeCom/Feishu ecosystems.
